How Long Does It Take For Rellor to Evolve? A Comprehensive Guide
The burning question for many Pokémon Scarlet and Violet trainers is: how long does it actually take to evolve Rellor into Rabsca? The short answer is, it doesn’t depend on time, but rather on the number of steps you take and when you level it up after. To be precise, Rellor evolves into Rabsca after walking 1,000 steps while in “Let’s Go” mode, followed by leveling up. It’s not about spending a set amount of time, but fulfilling the step requirement.
Let’s delve deeper into the mechanics of this evolution and tackle frequently asked questions to ensure your Rellor evolves successfully and efficiently.
Understanding the Rellor Evolution Process
Let’s Go Mode is Key
The first and most crucial step in evolving Rellor is activating Let’s Go mode. This feature allows you to release your Pokémon from their Poké Balls, letting them roam freely alongside your character. To activate it, simply press the R button. You’ll know it’s active when your Rellor appears on the overworld, following you.
The 1,000 Step Requirement
Once Rellor is out of its Poké Ball, you need to walk 1,000 steps. It’s essential that Rellor stays outside of its ball during this time. Walking with Rellor in “Let’s Go” mode is crucial for this step. The game does not track this step count for you, so you’ll need to keep walking until you believe the 1000 step mark is reached. You cannot keep Rellor inside its Pokeball for the steps and expect it to evolve.
The Level Up Trigger
After the 1,000 steps have been taken, your Rellor will not evolve automatically. It’s essential to level up your Rellor to initiate the evolution into Rabsca. This can be achieved by:
* Battling: Engage in battles to gain EXP and level up Rellor.
* Rare Candy: Use a Rare Candy to instantly level up your Rellor.
Once Rellor levels up after meeting the 1000 step requirement, it will evolve into Rabsca.
Optimizing the Process
While the process is straightforward, here’s how to optimize the process:
- Run in a Circle: Running around in a circle or a small area makes it easy to monitor and not lose count of steps taken, as it takes 5 laps around the Mesagoza typing circle which takes around 2 minutes to reach 1000 steps.
- Avoid Putting Rellor Away: Ensure your Rellor remains outside its Poké Ball until the evolution occurs.
- Prioritize Leveling Up: Once you believe you’ve hit 1,000 steps, have a Rare Candy ready, or fight a wild Pokémon to level up Rellor and immediately trigger the evolution.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Evolving Rellor
1. How do I know when I’ve walked 1,000 steps with Rellor?
Unfortunately, there is no in-game counter for steps taken. You will have to rely on your own judgement and timing. However, 5 laps around the Mesagoza typing circle takes around 2 minutes and equals roughly 1000 steps.
2. Can I use a bike or ride my Pokémon while walking the 1,000 steps?
No, using the bike or riding on your legendary Pokémon, Miraidon or Koraidon, will not count towards the 1,000 steps. You must manually walk with your character while Rellor is in “Let’s Go” mode.
3. Does crouching affect the step count?
While some sources say crouching might affect the step count or speed at which you reach the step goal, the step itself will count towards the 1000 step requirement, whether you are standing, walking or crouching.
4. Why isn’t my Rellor evolving after 1,000 steps?
The most common reason for Rellor not evolving is that it was either not outside of its Pokeball when you reached the step count or it was put away in the ball sometime during the step count. Ensure that Rellor has been out in “Let’s Go” mode for the duration and that you level it up after 1000 steps to trigger the evolution.
5. Is it possible to fail the Rellor evolution?
No, as long as you ensure Rellor is outside its Poké Ball and walk at least 1,000 steps, the evolution will happen once it levels up. There is no way to fail the evolution process.
6. Can I get multiple Rabsca if I evolve multiple Rellor?
Yes, you can evolve as many Rellor as you want into Rabsca, provided you meet the 1000 steps and leveling up requirement for each one.
7. Does the location where I walk matter for the evolution?
No, the location does not matter for the evolution. You can walk around in any area of the game, as long as your Rellor is in “Let’s Go” mode and you take 1000 steps.
8. Can Rellor evolve into something other than Rabsca?
No, Rellor will only evolve into Rabsca after meeting the 1,000 steps and level up requirements.
9. Does Rellor have to be a certain level to evolve?
No, Rellor does not have to be a certain level to evolve. It just has to level up after you’ve completed walking at least 1,000 steps in “Let’s Go” mode.
10. Can I track the progress of my step count?
No, there is no in-game method to track the progress of your step count for the Rellor evolution. Use your own judgement, as 5 laps around the Mesagoza typing circle takes around 2 minutes and equals roughly 1000 steps.
11. Can I use Exp. Candy for the level up?
Yes, you can use Exp. Candy to level up Rellor after taking 1,000 steps and trigger the evolution.
12. What other Pokémon evolve by walking 1,000 steps?
Other Pokémon that also require walking 1,000 steps to evolve include:
- Pawmo: Evolves into Pawmot.
- Bramblin: Evolves into Brambleghast.
13. Can I walk 1,000 steps and then put Rellor away, then level it up?
No. Rellor must be out of its Pokeball at all times during the walking period, and must be out of its Pokeball when you trigger the level up.
14. Is there a ‘fastest’ way to get the steps?
There is no real “fastest” way, however doing laps of an area, or running in a circle is one of the best ways to reach the step count while monitoring it and not walking too far. 5 laps around the Mesagoza typing circle, which takes around 2 minutes, equals around 1000 steps.
15. Is there any way to speed up the level up after walking the 1,000 steps?
Yes, using a Rare Candy will trigger an immediate level up. Alternatively, if you have any high-level Pokemon, fighting a weak Pokemon will quickly level Rellor up to trigger the evolution.
Conclusion
Evolving Rellor into Rabsca is a fairly simple process if you understand the mechanics. It’s all about walking 1,000 steps with Rellor in “Let’s Go” mode, and ensuring it is outside its Pokeball, followed by leveling it up. No set amount of time is required, just the step count. By keeping these points in mind, you can easily add Rabsca to your Pokémon team!
